The threat of bad weather has resulted in an early start for the whole field. Play will commence from both the 1st and 10th tees at 7:30 local time and will be in groups of three. Rather handy for UK and European viewers who can watch it after their Sunday lunch rather than having to stay up late!
Saturday Tee Times and pairings as Ian Poulter goes out with Tiger Woods...
Despite being slide-tackled by a steward on the 14th hole, Tiger Woods produced a stunning round of 68 to put himself right in contention for his fourth Masters title going into the weekend.
The weather conditions look a bit unpredictable this week so this is a tough one to call.
Over to GP's ace golf betting tipster, The Golf Spiv, (AKA Nick Fleming):
It's the biggest purse in world golf and after watching the players go through the grinder all weekend you can't help but think they earned every cent.
Two events this week. It's the Oman Open and the Honda Open. Here's where the action is......
We hit the cross bar again last week with Adrian Otaegui 45/1 losing in the final of Australia super six. Then over in America at the Genesis Open both our selections Adam Scott 38/1 and Marc Leishman 55/1 got to within 1 shot of the lead in final round only to lose out to the slowest player in world golf J B Holmes, the PGA need to act fast to eradicate slow play as it will stop people watching the game!!
Here are all the best shots and highlights form Day 2 of the rain-delayed Genesis Open as Justin Thomas leads by one from a resurgent Adam Scott with Rory and Casey in contention. And Tiger? He ain't out of it either... It's eagles galore at Pacific Palisades in California!!!
A unique event over in Australia this week: The first three rounds are stroke play but on Sunday the top 24 play knockout match play over 6 holes, with the top 8 getting a bye into second round of knockout. Over in USA we have the Genesis Open that boasts the best quality field so far this year!!!
FootJoy has introduced an all-new version of the Pro/SLTM.
